DUPONT. re mained at Andajar. General SPENCER had landed his troops at St. Mary's to refresh them. Accounts, had been received at Seville from Sara, gossa, which (state that 7,000 French troops ' had been.attacked at that place, and that, aftei three clays fighting, they had-all been cut to pieces. Portugal was in a state of general iniurre&ipn, but the people were' in Want of arms. JuNoT was said to be concentrating his force at Lisbon. The intelligence brought by the Dispatches , froth General SPENCER and Lord COL4INGWOOD; "I,Vhich we had the pleasure of presenting to ow Readers yesterday, justifies the sanguine hope which we have entertained ever . since the patriotic spirit of the Spa- piards had manifested it4elf, that the detestable as turber of the peace of mankind will not only be foiled in his iniquitous atteropt to enslaye that heroic people, but that he will, perhaps, be 'burled from O:,: eleyalipp to which he bps 41 - 49 p, more by 116 and happiness. This injunction, however, applies to those only who have exceeded .the 45th year' bi their age, and he who.complies with it,,shall be es teemed, and declared to have deserved well of 'his country ; and the Supreme Council of Government i expeas, foam the generous charaaer.olail Spaniards, that not one of them will take advantage of the pre sent critical situation of the country to raise the price 'of labour to an excessive amount, but that, on tire contrary, they a& with that heroic moderation which.the country and public felicity demand. 8; Women apply themselves in many parishes to reap the corn, and perform other agricultural bourt and in all the provinces of. Spain a great num -- her of them may do the same ? The Supreme 'Coun cil advises 'and directs them to do so in the circum .stances in which we are placed, and declares this employment in all those who shall devote themselves ,to it, the highest service which they are able to render their Country. All persons belonging to the Regular or Secular Clergy, may do the same, and will thereby evince their love of their King, their loyalty and zeal., to promote - The public prosperity and welfare; and the example, _which they shall then' set' to the People; and to persons of every rank and description will force them to imitate it. Such women as on account of their age,• ty of constitution, .and other reasons, are absolutely prevented from -devoting themselves to that. em ployment, will apply themselves to make lint, ban dages, and other necessaries, 'for the use of the hospitals, and. after they are made,. they will cieliver them to their respeaive Councils of Government, or Boards of MdgiStrates, who will transmit theM with out the least delay to the Intendants or Commis saries General of our armies in this capital. The latter will cause lists to be formed of the persons who shall have applied themselves to this service, and to all other employments ordered, and transmit them to this Supreme Council of Government, who will order them to be printed and published, that they 'may be universally known, and that every one may receive the praise and reward due to his love of our native land. We are about to fight in defence. of our "country and religion, and our conduct and exertions ought to shew that we really are Spaniards and . Christians. The Supreme Council of Government do, therefore,, charge the armies, the people, and persons of every rank and description, to study the utmost purity of manners, modesty, and virtue, and incessantly to offer up prayers to the God of Mercy, to appease his just wrath. The Council, above. all, charges and beseeches them, for the love of Jesus Christ, to avoid all jealousies, differences, and disputes, and, sacrificing all personal interest,.clwely to unite, and devote themselves entirely to the. defence of our King. Doing this, the Supreme Council of Govern ment hope and are certain, that God will look down on us with. ati.eye of mercy, and we shalt succeed to save our ,Religion, our Country, and our King, whose ruin would be consummated by our enemies if they conquered us, which, however, this Supreme Council of Government neither fears nor has reason to fear.

The intelligence from Lord COLLINGWOOD is not less important and encouraging on the part of Spait?.. The ,Spanish General CASTANGS, according to .alf accounts, is a man perfealy fit for the crisis in which his talents are called forth. DUPONT not only" fears the strength and spirit of the. Spaniards.. but the prudence and abilities of their Leader, and . therefore. proposed to capitulate on condition that readeF ixould be accepted. DuroNT had retired to Andugar. CASTANOS'S Outposts were at Aldea de Rio, within two Miles of the Enemy's rear. The whole regular force under CASTANOS, amounted to 2t,000 Infantry, 2,500 Cavalry, and a formidable train of Artillery." Several Persons; from Holland, arrived in town , thip day, who landed yesterday ; but such is the state _of fearful resignation that prevails, in that country, that the/ bring no information of an inte resting nature: his troops' should be permitted to return, without molestation, into France. CASTANOS disdained such a degrading compromise, and 'declared that nothing btit an unconditional surrender would satisfy himself, or the' brave people whom he had, the honour of 'commanding. It further appears that DUPONT had sent his advanced Corps towards Cordova, and had the mortification a finding that he could place no dependence on the allied Troops in the service -a France, as they were taking every opportunity of deserting, particularly the Swiss ; but what had con tributed to embarrass DUPONT still more, had,beem../ the interception of the supplies intended for his Army... One hundred and twenty-five waggons, with.fxrpvi sions and ammunition, wore, captured on their - may,- near Mazananes, and the escort, consisting of eight'' hundred men, were entirely defeated, two hundred having fallen viditns to the deterglined spirit of the Spaniards, and the remaining six' hundred been. . . . Dispatches from the American Government to Mr. PINCKNEY have just arrived in the Ameri can Ship St. Michael, : which left' L'Orient on the 7th inst. and has reached Falmouth. By the accounts of the Captain of this Vessel, which, how ever, are cautiously delivered, it appears that the.' public sentiment in France is obviously against their tyrannical Ruler, and will, perhaps, be more open- ly expressed every day, particularly as French troops, were hUrried on towards Spain, to effea, if possible, the subjugation of that Country. On Sunday evening their MAJESTIES, accorn panied by the PRINCESSES, Lords and Ladies MAC WALSINGHAM, and Lady SOMERVILLE, Lord and Lady RIVERS, and Ladies ELY and -THYNNE, walked on the Terrace, which was much [ crowded with genteel company. Yesterday morning his MAJESTY did not ride; but Princesses AUGUSTA, SOPHIA, .and AMELIA, at 'tended by Lords RIVERS and SOMERVILLE, Generals MANNINGHAM and CARTWRIGHT, Count MUNSTER, Col. TAYLOR, and Lady . ELY, took their usual rides in the Great Park, and returned at twelve. The SHERIFFS Of LONDON waited on /iris MAJESTY,' to know when he. would be pleased to receive the C:ty Address, and it was understood that to-mortovf was appointed for that purpose. taken prisoners. Another fact of the utmost importance had taken place, according to advices received'by the Supreme," Council df Seville,. viz. that Generiil CLIESTA anp . ther of the Spanish Chiels on whom ins countrymen confidently relied, had taken a very strong position . in Castile —that he had also occupied the Passes; ac Guadumma, and another defileot great importanee; and had entirely cut off the'retreat of MIIItiT from Madrid to Bayonne. To General CVESTA the naim litary force of Peon and . Galicia is entrusted, and he has at least 20,000 aie4 witu hiin in the posts:_which he occupied When those tidings reached the Supreme Council of, Seville. But the face of.atfaii - s, even in Vrance, as well as in most parts of the Cputinent, begin to portend events which -may well make the Corsican Upstart tremble. His . condua towards P 0 1. ,• tugal,, after all the sacrifices which he had exacted from the former Gov erntnent, which had even hazard ed a rupture with this Country to please him,but which tempolising poky on the part of that Government Great Britain had viewed rather with compassion. than resentment - tliis conduct we and has actually produced murmurs of disgust, even in france;against the ingra(itude, injustice, and insatiable aulhinc.3!l og the Tyrant. This sentiment has been much mented since they haVe beheld his attempts t 9 bring Spain into abject slavery, chiefly for the purpme 9f elevating his own low-both family. In short, the tide seems to be turning against the great Disttirber of the peace of the world, and the most cautious Po liticians, who understand htttpan- nature, and who wish well to its chief interests,now begin to give way T h. those sanguine hopes which animate people in gene ral, and are inclined to predict. the fall of a-Tyrant whose existeciee has been marked by nothinebut a disposition to aggrandize himself at the . expence of all mankind. s. :The Spanish Noblemen. lately arrived in this country, yesterday dined - with Mr. Secretary CAN" N1NG.,, ,; together with the Cabinet Ministers.
